Good morning!!!!

[lostcreekranch]

67°F here and foggy. Hard to remember it was 31°F at this time just two days ago. Forecast says 77°F this afternoon with 20% chance of rain.

I'm "planning" to take advantage of a warm day to wash the mud off of two tractors, my truck, and the Kubota ZT. Hopefully other "shiny things" don't get in the way?

We holding a community CPR / First Aid course tomorrow morning at the volunteer FD.

Everyone have a great Friday and excellent weekend.

Prayers to all.

Ron;
don't hold your breath on the chain saw report. First there is 3 cord of wood in the way and then 60' of snow 4' deep to get out of the way. It may be as late as May before the tree gets cut up.

prayers for your Aunt Ron. Hoping for positive outcomes.

Slept well last night, thankfully, very sore hands and wrists this morning and likely will be wearing wrist
wraps for awhile. Anyone who has had carpal tunnel, basically that feeling from elbow down. Getting old...

Bird, hope your eye appt went well.

I cannot tell a lie...those rows were first done by my neighbor, this time I just followed the path, keeping the hood ornament of the tractor aimed down the center of the row. Learned my lesson last year about not trying to look around while moving, always veers the row off to the right. Now I just stop totally, and look around. After doing that a few times, and everything looked ok, then just kept at it. One more pass this afternoon before rain comes, pretty grey out now.

If I wasn't bringing some American Legion red poppies I grew to the garden club, I would have passed on this morning's meeting, too much going on, but I'm stuck...so it's clean clothes this morning.

eating more fish to be healthy? Seems almost one out of four fish products are mislabeled and are some other fish.
Clearly this needs more FDA attention.

tested more than 400 samples from markets, stores and restaurants in 24 states and Washington. DNA tests showed that about 21% of it was not what it was called on the label or menu

I think one of the earliest examples of this was using a small round cookie cutter on skate wings to make fake scallops.

Drew, also check the sodium level in any canned fish, Tuna, sardines, salmon etc. WOW!!! I was giving gray2 some as treats till I checked the sodium content and I feel like I have abused the kitty. They do have salt free Tuna but it is about 4X the price if you can find it. Kyle could this be a source of your high blood pressure?

Good morning! 64˚F heading to the high 70's.
Yesterday I left the iPhone on the truck dash and got a high temperature warning and my phone would not turn on for an hour till it cooled down.

Prayers for your Aunt Ron. How old is she?

Rick have they eliminated the mouth-to-mouth part of CPR? Not because it's more effective but because that part was stopping people from starting CPR.

Good morning to all! Low down to 42, going up to 66, but going to be very windy. Worse than yesterday. We had gusts to 55 yesterday, today warnings up to 65+ !! REDICULOUS !! There were 'brown out' at times yesterday, can't wait to see what happens today.

Ron, prayers for your aunt. Hope she recovers quickly w/o any deficits.

David, hope the weather holds off and you can get more done between showers.

Don, it's nice there are 'recycling' projects and they make practical things from the tees. The greenhouse looks nice.

Everyone have a great day, prayers sent out for those needing.

33°F and light snow flurries this morning, going up to 46° today. Tomorrow should be a Deusey; high near 60° with potential for sever thunderstorms, hail, and possibly tornadoes. No mention yet of boils or locusts.

Not sure what the weekend holds yet. I guess it will be weather-dependent.

I heard that story about the fish issue yesterday and again today. Not surprised. Dishonesty seems perfectly acceptable these days. Cooked some breaded fish fillets for dinner last night anyway.

Yep you're right. Can't believe how many people I've heard say that they WOULD NOT perform rescue breathing.

It's pretty much just chest compressions with main focus on getting REAL MEDICAL HELP ASAP, if required.

You do want to listen for breathing before starting CPR.

I was always taught;

Check for breathing / heartbeat.
Begin chest compressions, 100/min. rate. (Think Bee Gees' "Stayin' Alive")
2 rescue breaths to make chest rise. (if necessary).
Continue chest compressions.

If you're giving CPR ...... real help ... IS required regardless of CPR results.

To pass class you must "perfectly recite" the lyrics.

Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk
I'm a woman's man, no time to talk
Music loud and women warm, I've been kicked around
Since I was born
And now it's alright, it's okay
And you may look the other way
We can try to understand
The New York Times' effect on man

Whether you're a brother or whether you're a mother
You're stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Feel the city breakin' and everybody shakin'
And we're stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive

It was 20° this morning. Yesterday turned out to be sunny all day and in the mid 30's. They are calling for more snow today with a high back in the 30's.

We had a nice lunch in town yesterday and did some shopping.

Don't have any plans for today.

Did get a latter from the county that told me I was on their list for jury duty for the next six months. Hopefully they won't need me, the county seat is only 50 miles away.

Hope everyone is looking forward to the weekend.
CWB.
